I have a 2006 Chevy 1500 that is making a clicking noise when I turn on the AC fan, the higher the fan the louder the noise, even at the lowest setting you can still hear the clicking but less audible. Sounds like it is behind the glove box. Anyone have an idea what this could be making this noise?
Sounds like you might have sucked up something into the fan. The same thing happened to me years ago. It was a piece of a candy bar wrapper in my case.

Might be the count down timer! Chevy has a built in obsolense function that will make the truck blow up after so many hours or miles.
Don’t turn the AC on and your good[:0]
Could be trash in the fan, or the fan motor is starting to go bad. Here’s a couple of pointers:
The blower motor is a device used to move air, either from the outside of the vehicle to the cabin (vented air) or to circulate cabin air through the AC evaporator. Most of the time, the blower motor will be close behind the dash, although location can vary from vehicle to vehicle. The blower motor is controlled by the blower motor resistor, which in turn is typically controlled by the Heater and AC Control Module (the panel inside your car you use to adjust the HVAC system). The blower motor will have a wheel attached which actually moves the air. Blower motors can usually be purchased with or without this wheel, as many times they can be reused even if the motor itself has failed.
Blower motors can fail and require replacement. Sometimes a ‘whining’ noise may be heard when a blower motor is failing, other times they could just cease functioning. Often times what may appear to be a faulty blower motor can in fact be the resistor or control module. Testing requires basic knowledge of electrical components and some form of equipment to gauge the presence or absence of power.
Replacing the blower motor will vary in difficulty depending on the vehicle. As with most repairs, there are options available for repair manuals and if you’re unsure or not confident in your ability to perform the repair, leave it to the professionals!
This tutorial is on an Impala, I couldn’t find one on a 2006 1500, but this should give you a good idea on what to do, should you try it on your own:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymKzKOnI78s

Thanks Mixed… very helpful info.
Got the blower fan out and found a piece of tape stuck to a fan blade, removed tape, no more noise.
Good deal!!
